First run in months last night after being given the all clear by my physio yesterday - looking at strava, it was July when I last ran and was falling apart then. Felt alright, bit of a shock as expected but dieting to keep the weight off has made a massive difference - usually I'm about 5kg heavier after a long layoff!
Goals for 2020 - get back to running without injury, get faster, get a sub 20 5km again, and generally focus on shorter and faster fell races. These last couple years I've just ground myself to pieces trying to do longer races, and while the temptation of the long classics will never really go away, I'm hoping that good results on faster stuff will help keep focus.

Glad to be back anyway.
